Dear Students and Families:
I truly hope the Summer is going well for all of you. WHS is mostly quiet these summer days, and yet we are working on several important tasks to get ready for this coming school year: minor renovations inside a few classrooms, construction on the front plaza area, and updating guardrails to the back parking lots. In addition, teachers are working on redeveloping curricula and attending professional development workshops.
The calmness of the summer also allows us to reflect upon the progress on our Mission, the goals and objectives set for WHS in order to make our school community even more positive and caring. I hope you can take the time to rest, relax, and reflect so that when you arrive back at WHS for the start of the 2019-2020 school year, you're ready to learn and grow.
As Dr. Mykee Fowlin relayed to us in April when he visited WHS and gave that meaningful message:
“We are capable of transforming the world, for the good, but this work starts from within; it is the process of turning our hurt into self-reflection, healing, and then action. Let us be like the oyster, turning our pain into something more valuable, but never forgetting the final piece in this transition. The value of the pearl takes place when someone else receives it, not if the oyster keeps it.”
Happy Summer,
Mr. Brian Callaghan
